Augmented Reality Interface for Electronic Music Performance @ University of Washington & Hiroshima City University

Starting from the days of the Musical Telegraph, the first electronic

instrument, the majority of synthesizers today are still equipped with

keyboards, often using the traditional layout of acoustic pianos.

The question that many researchers attempt to answer is that of

Groove, a novel musical instrument that attempts to depart from

traditional approaches to musical performance, i.e. use keyboards,

dials or simulated traditional musical controllers. It allows novices to play

electronic musical compositions, interactivelyremixing and modulating their

elements, by manipulating simple physical objects.
